Never Forget: 1871

On Monday, October 19, at 7:30 PM CAM and the Ebell of Los Angeles will co-present a special live musical production of Never Forget: 1871 by award-winning composer, Nathan Wang.

Never Forget: 1871 offers a powerful musical retelling of the Chinese Massacre of 1871, one of the darkest and often overlooked chapters in LA History. Featuring a blend of Western and traditional Chinese instruments, this moving production combines music, storytelling, and history to honor the lives and experiences of the Chinese immigrants in 19th century Los Angeles, and to remind us why their stories must never be forgotten.

The October 19th live event will be held at the Ebell of Los Angeles (743 S Lucerne Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90005) and will include a special presentation offering additional historic context and perspective on the events that transpired in 1871. Tickets are $25 plus fees, with proceeds benefiting future programming and exhibitions. Click here to get your tickets today.

**Presented in recognition of the 155th anniversary of the Chinese Massacre of 1871, this program is part of a week-long series of programming commemorating the lives lost and exploring the lasting impact of the tragedy. The week will culminate with CAM’s annual Commemoration on the evening of October 24.
